The collection includes photographs, sketches, drafts, and working materials created by Wojciech Zamecznik from 1949 till his death in 1967. For the next 40 years the collection was rarely displayed and known of, as it was stored in Zamecznik's apartment. In late 2012, Julisz Zamecznik, son of Wojciech, decided to grant the collection to Archeology of Photography Foundation (APF) as he "wanted to do something" with the collection and he trusted one of the founders of APF to be diligent and interested in his father's heritage.
